Year 6 SATs information meeting is this Monday 6th February from 15:30 - 16:30 in the year 6 mobile classrooms. Please come along if possible!

This term we are focusing on the school value of perseverance and with this in mind we have introduced Fit Friday.  On a Friday afternoon all the children will complete one of the following fitness activities - Dance Magic, Circuits, Sports Day Races or a Mini-Marathon.  The sight of hundreds of pupils doing sport at the same time is tremendous and leaves everyone 'glowing' at the end of the week.

Please kindly note we would like to acknowledge every child’s certificate or award for their activities in and out of school.

 

However, it has been agreed, going forward we will be acknowledging the majority of recreational activity awards during their Class Collective Worship Time. For any awards or certificates that are an OUTSTANDING achievement we will also read these out during Celebration Assembly on a Friday.

 

The reason for this change is so that we can prioritise the Celebration Assembly for Stars of the Week, Headteacher Awards, WOW Work and House Point Winners.

 

We appreciate your understanding. 

As part of our new topic, Year 2 enjoyed celebrating different countries and cultures. The children came to school dressed in clothing to represent a country of their choice. They also enjoyed sharing interesting facts and had the opportunity to taste a range of food from around the world.

The Sports Ambassadors were invited to take part in a Sports Morning at Victoria School. Each activity was led by groups of students from Victoria School to give our children an insight into a variety of new sports and leadership responsibilities. It was an incredible experience for our children to see the amazing skills of students with additional needs and how expertly they communicated and led the sessions. Our Sports Ambassadors returned to school with an immense enthusiasm to promote excellent communication and inclusion through sport at Longfleet. 

 

A report by Teddy (Sports Ambassador) can be found in the PE / Sports section of our website. 

Ahoy there me hearties!  Reception had lots of fun on 'Pirate Day' to introduce a new topic called, 'Shiver Me Timbers!'.  The children made ships biscuits, created collage artwork and made saltdough treasure.  We are looking forward to participating in a pirate theatre workshop at the end of this half term.

Year 1 had a brilliant day celebrating the start of their topic,

Whatever the Weather! They had a snow machine, a snowman competition and took part in The Great Ice Challenge. For more pictures see Year 1's class page.

Our Year 6 classes have travelled back to Tudor times for cooking, dancing and even the Battle of Bosworth! For more pictures, please see the 'Class Pages' in the 'Children's section'.
